Ferretti Group Unveils The Custom Line 140, Its Newest Flagship Superyacht
Ferretti Group is set to release its Custom Line 140’ planing superyacht in 2022, which will replace the Navetta 42 displacement model as its flagship superyacht.
The upcoming Custom Line 140’ has an overall length of 42.15m and a beam measuring 8.57m, in comparison to the Navetta 42’s dimensions at 41.8m and 8.1m.
Created in partnership with Ferretti Group’s Product Strategy Committee and its Engineering Department, the superyacht is the third Custom Line Yacht to feature interior and exterior designs by Francesco Paszkowski, with interiors in collaboration with Margherita Casprini and Custom Line Atelier.

The Custom Line 140’ has an estimated volume of just under 400GT — double that of the 199GT Navetta 30, the range’s current entry-level model. It’s also expected to reach up to a top speed of 21.5 knots based on preliminary data, thanks to its high-speed displacement.
The hull has floor-to-ceiling glazing on deck, offering spectacular views, and its windows are also generously sized. A notable highlight of the deck is a painted aluminium handrail with Y-shaped uprights — elegant and functional design by Paszkowski.
The main deck features a 320sqft saloon and the owner’s suite, which also offers over 320 sqft of space as well. The bedroom features double everything — walk-in wardrobes, sinks, showers, and baths. You even get the option of a panoramic drop-down terrace.
The lower deck offers three VIP cabins, twin guest cabins, and a crew area that accommodates up to seven in three en-suite cabins. The captain’s cabin is on the upper deck.
The yacht makes full use of its space by having the upper deck connected to the forward area by side corridors, which can also be accessed by the bridge.
The upper deck has a sky lounge and a 190sqft bridge. The sky lounge has a relaxation area with a hydromassage tub and free-standing furniture. The bow area features an outdoor lounge and a garage and can be used to stow a jet ski or tender.
The design of the yacht takes great care to separate the guest areas from the crew and technical areas using sealed passageways. Floating systems, special materials, and additional insulation between bulkheads and ceilings will also ensure guests have the most comfortable stay onboard.
Like all new-generation Custom Line yachts, the 140’ will be certified according to IMO Tier III standards to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides in exhaust fumes.
Also in superyacht news, the Monaco Yacht Show had recently wrapped up on September 25. Benetti showcased the longest superyacht in the world, called the IJE. It was built for Australian billionaire James Packer and was named after his children, Indigo, Jackson, and Emanuelle (IJE). Benetti also debuted the 65m Zazou and the first Diamond 44M, a 145ft fibreglass yacht.

Fendace: A Marriage of Fendi and Versace
Kim Jones, Silvia Venturini Fendi, and Donatella Versace made history as the three had swapped houses for one night only to design 25 looks for each other. The collaborative event took place in Versace’s headquarters in Via Gesù in Milan, Italy.
Entitled “VERSACE BY FENDI — FENDI BY VERSACE,” Jones and Venturini Fendi designed Versace’s men’s and womenswear lines respectively, while Donatella had reinterpreted Fendi’s looks. “It’s a first in the history of fashion. A true creative dialogue that stems from respect and friendship,” said Versace.
Jones also chimed in, explaining how the collaboration came to be. “In February after the ready-to-wear show we came to dinner here with Donatella,” he said. “Silvia and Donatella got on really well, and we thought it would be nice to have some fun. It was a design-off: we designed Versace and she designed Fendi. Remember these two houses are not in the same group: we’ve just done it as friends, and out of respect for each other. It’s never been planned as a commercial thing.”
Opened by the legendary model Kristen McMenamy in an all-black safety-pinned look, the first half of the show also saw fellow icons Amber Valletta, Kate Moss, and Naomi Campbell strut down the catwalk.
For the first half, Versace by Fendi, classic looks from Versace’s archives were reworked to include Fendi’s iconic double FFs, with the Italian house’s Grecian motif plastered over bomber jackets, and mini dresses.
As Jones came out to take his bow at the end of the first 25 looks, the Medusa faced panels embedded in the foliage walls of the fashion space swivelled to reveal Fendi’s logo and thus began part two of the show.
In contrast, Versace took an edgier approach in designing for Fendi. Using chain mail with lace and crystal-encrusted F’s, the iconic designer reimagined the brand’s monogram. Her looks included short minis covered in the Fendi logo, mesh dresses, a 70s denim pantsuit with bell bottoms, and her take on evening gowns.
Off the runway, numerous notable celebrities were in attendance including Dua Lipa, Evan Mock, Winnie Harlow, to Gigi Hadid. A night to remember for sure, the fans can only wonder what’s next for the fashion world.
Elsewhere in fashion news, New York’s biggest fashion event — the Met Gala — was recently held once again after a hiatus last year due to Covid-19. It held many firsts for the fashion industry, from Gen Z co-hosts to sponsorship by Instagram. The sponsorship was of particular note, as it provided unprecedented fan access and was deemed as a step towards democratising fashion.
